Last week we implemented Update Rollup 7 for System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 at one of our customers. After implementation we experienced some strange issues on the NVGRE Gateway Cluster. When a tenant removed his network from the Azure Pack portal, the network is removed from VMM and the VMM Database, but the resource is still online on the NVGRE cluster. This isn’t a problem until a failover occurs. Then the resource and only that resource will fail to start on the other node. Also not a big issue, all other networks comes online and start function normally.

BUT, the cluster role is in a failed state and will start playing tennis between 2 nodes to try to bring the resource completely online. And this becomes annoying. Because with each failover of a node the connection for the tenant VMs drops for a second.
